Unboxing my Fabric Haul! (fabric destash swap gone wrong)

[@staceyking5350]

Not gonna lie, I care about the specifics of your ribbon collection. That green flocked fabric is fabulous. I can't wait to see what you make with all of it.

[@linr8260]

That green and black fabric 👀👀👀 (Also you are greatly underestimating my lust for seeing pretty ribbons and lace)

[@indiabilly]

Am pretty sure I could be easily persuaded to watch your ribbon collection as long as it’s accompanied by your commentary xx

[@samanthapereira3733]

Aw! I wanna see the ribbons and buttons and lace! Love seeing what you got... well done Emily's mum.😊

[@EmilySnee]

I’d need to get the ribbons way more organised to be able to show them off 😅

[@angelamatthews8190]

Oh, but i wanna see the buttons, ribbons and lace too! lovely fabrics. they look so you!

[@ursulaphoenix3673]

I would LOVE to see your ribbon collection! And as always, love your videos!

[@EmilySnee]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@mele9952]

Nooo I want to see the ribbons!

[@Silv3rPhantom]

Those fabrics are beautiful! I actually would love to see the specifics of your ribbons and buttons, etc, I love that stuff omg

[@jama61van]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the fabric with the big purple and burgundy flowers, totally koolots.

[@jama61van]

Zandra Rhrodes & IKEA combo fabric is to DIE for. Cannot wait to see what you do with that.

[@jenniferoliver8765]

That green flocked fabric is amazing. I immediately though of a Worth style gown with a black base. It would be stunning. Love your mum stories. She sounds fabulous. I have given up on the idea of destashing. I think of it as upgrading. Cause I want a stash, just more of what I like and less of what I'll never use. Good luck and hope you are well.

[@isabellaferretti7279]

That was fun! J'adore your shirt

[@Ellaodi]

I cannot wait to see these jellyfish dungarees 😂 a ridiculous victorian tea gown for lounging would work too! That green floral is amazing!! Lmao glad I'm not the only one whose project list is bigger than their free time

[@EmilySnee]

Oh, the project list is long and growing ever longer! And by the time I’ve finished one project, I’ve had three more ideas for new ones! I don’t think I’ll ever get to the end of my project list to be honest 😅

[@rebekahslyter954]

I love buttons ribbons and lace!

[@ladybugdancer97]

I would love to see some videos where you make an item with one or more of these fabrics. Both kaftans sound amazing! Also, I would enjoy seeing each little piece of ribbon, and each button, and every scrap of lace, if you want to show any of it.

[@EmilySnee]

I’m tempted, but a haberdashery video could get way too long very quickly 😂😂

[@juliemeanor6531]

Caftan yes! I have 2, they are my , cocktails on the patio , summer entertaining attire. Highly recommend.

[@EmilySnee]

Ideal for lounging glamorously! I thoroughly approve 😁

[@janeford551]

Really enjoyed this video hunny thank you xx

[@armedvsokord]

I love your mom! I'm glad she is looking out for you. Hopefully you can go next time to actually de-stash.

[@vlduran5720]

Oh yum, that chartreuse!

[@nixhixx]

What a great haul. LOVE that flocked green. Love ALL greens.

[@EmilySnee]

Yeah! Green team! 💚💚

[@MrTraewilliams]

Ma'am your energy, humor, and yes your accent brings me so much joy. Thanks for sharing your videos. I hope you are doing well 💯✌️🤟🤘

[@EmilySnee]

Thank you so much! It’s always so nice to hear that all my weirdness brings people joy 😁

[@michellecornum5856]

Definitely put together the Ikea Freddy Mercury kaftan. Just what little I saw of it and knowing that there is extra fabric sent me down a rabbit hole of possibilities.

[@EmilySnee]

I think I might just have to! I don’t even know if I’d wear it, but I’d just love to *have it* 😂

[@kaytemnorwood]

Also, I CARE about ribbon and buttons.

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

Like wise!

[@slbols]

💯

[@rae·tetza1999]

Absolutely!

[@EmilySnee]

I did not, at all, expect there to this level of interest in my haberdashery 😂😂

[@MiffoKarin]

I would watch a haberdashery video if you put one up, but right now I'm more interested in that IKEA kaftan... I too have a beautiful second hand fabric that's either silk or extremely well made polyester, but I'm not good enough at knowing what the burn tests would look like, so it remains a mystery. Either way it will make a fabulous skirt or dress one day.

[@EmilySnee]

I have been planning a video about burn tests… so maybe I need to hurry that up, so you can have something helpful to refer to ☺️

[@rd6203]

THAT IS WHAT HAIR SHOULD LOOK LIKE!!!❤❤

[@EmilySnee]

I’ve been thinking of cutting it shorter again - it’s gotten long enough to start getting on my nerves a bit 😅

[@rd6203]

@@EmilySnee oh, but it's so cute! Although i did super love the short and wavy look on you... very much rocked that look.

[@molnotmole3428]

That collaboration fabric is amazing! sad about the polyester part though.

[@simonscarle]

Also, I think the world needs us to make "unbagging" a thing.

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

I'm excited to see everything! Definitely am looking forward to the caftan!

[@joannasnee3871]

Time to start a campaign to Emily's mum on a video! Emily and her mum talking about fabric! Emily interviews her mum about her amazing quilts! If the eagle eyed of you notice that my name is also Snee, I promise I am a completely disinterested party😅

[@BYBabbra]

Brilliant haul, that Hot Pink IS Bright! I'm still squinting. Now I'm off to finish putting elastic back in a skirt waist that I have just took in. Skirt was £2.50 from a charity shop but about 4 sizes to large, but a skirt for that little is a win in my books.

[@EmilySnee]

Good luck with your elastic! ☺️

[@jama61van]

The fabric with the big black leaves I could see as a caftan, but also bib overalls that have wide legs. I'm not familiar with the fashion lingo but there's not much structure to them, there is a bit of a "bib" but the straps are quite thin, and only fasten with buttons onto the bib. The back can be more open, but it does have some back to it, obviously to attach the straps to something in the back, but again, very unstructured. That was the first thing I thought of when you presented the material. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

[@EmilySnee]

Ooh, yeah! I know the kind you mean! That would be really cute 😍

[@josephkarl2061]

You can never have too many fabrics floating around. Never 😂

[@EmilySnee]

If I perish under a mountain of fabric, we’ll all know how and why 😂

[@simonscarle]

As someone with an ever growing fabric stash, but still has to get just one more reaallly nice bit of fabric egged on by my family, I really understand and love this video.

[@EmilySnee]

Isn’t it great when people around you are there for your hobbies and flights of fancy? 😍

[@antikathy]

Some of that I would just want to hoard, honestly. The imaginary project is sometimes as good. Like that last piece. Do you cut it up and make it, or do you save it? I would be so torn. Plus also a peek at the buttons and ribbon would not have been untoward for the crows in the audience like me lol I think I can safely say a large majority of your audience likes shinys lol

[@EmilySnee]

Ah, yes. I do love my imaginary projects! There’s something about all the possibilities that’s just so magical 🤩

[@katecapek3116]

Thought for the 3 panels of caftan... Perhaps the 3rd panel could be a cape attached at the shoulder...

[@EmilySnee]

Oh my goodness, what a FANTASTIC idea 😆

[@stevezytveld6585]

Fabulous finds. The caftan would work for winter? Well done. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@EmilySnee]

I always think of caftans as a summer-y thing, but I think a winter-y one could be really cool too ☺️

[@stevezytveld6585]

@@EmilySnee Well, it is polyester - heat retaining. And it would provide dramatic swooshing possibilities?

[@catherineleslie-faye4302]

Lovely fabrics... culottes and evening gowns. I love seeing buttons and ribbons.Will you do a short of your buttons and ribbons?

[@EmilySnee]

It’s a good idea, but I have *so much* haberdashery - I don’t know if I could keep the video a reasonable length and keep it interesting 😭

[@dianavoermans]

Wow, your mum has a good view on your likings 😍

[@EmilySnee]

She does! She knows me well 😁

[@jackiejames4551]

This was so much fun. Thank you.

[@geofreelance1]

How can I find your mum’s Etsy shop??? Her work is FABULOUS

There’s a link in the description ☺️☺️

I'm also a bit of a strange shape. 😂

I recently started to work in a fabric shop and let me tell you: it's not going well for my project pan on my fabric stash..... When you buy stuff to use up the stuff it's over... Help me, please😅

[@EmilySnee]

Oooft, it would be *very* dangerous for me to ever work in a fabric shop. I couldn’t be trusted not to take home every thing I see that catches my eye

[@mindart237]

@@EmilySnee that's literally my life now. Just got home and got my hands on a few pieces of felt fabric leftovers (?) made out of wool.... I don't even know what to do with it.... Help me 😅. I don't have so much space.

Show the ribbons, button, & lace💜💜💜🥺🥺🥺

[@sewchaotic]

Would you mind sharing The Group and how you found it? I am in the Greater London area and would like to make some sewing and costuming friends that are local

[@EmilySnee]

Of course! It’s called the London Stitchers Meetup - you can find them on Instagram and they share any upcoming events they’re planning. It’s often going to exhibitions and similar ☺️
